Slug Control
A natural plant-extract slugicide with 85–95% efficacy proven in strawberry field trials. Applied directly to plant leaves, it disrupts slug mucus secretion — stopping movement, feeding, and reproduction within hours.
Slug Control is a plant-derived slugicide formulated with saponin extracted from the tea tree — a natural compound with combined insecticidal, slugicidal, and fungicidal properties. Applied as a foliar spray directly onto plant leaves, it interferes with the mucous and salivary glands of slugs, disrupting their mucus secretion and inhibiting movement, feeding, and reproduction. Field testing in strawberries demonstrated 85–95% efficacy. Built-in surfactant properties reduce the overall volume of pesticide required compared with conventional slug treatments.
